    Hopefully freedom of religion does something helpful, as the Bible says 40,000 times to home the homeless and feed the hungry.

      Unfortunately (in this case), freedom of religion, in the US, only protects your right to practice your religion free from persecution. You can’t break the law and then justify it by saying it was a form of religious expression.

      Sounds to me like the pastor got that message. Nobody in the city’s government cares about that, but he got it.

      Good on the pastor for doing what he did. Anyone who speaks out about it, or endorses the charges laid against him should be ashamed. Honestly, you’re going to condemn someone to die because of what? Because they’re poor? Homeless? Does that mean we should treat them like they’re not worthy of life?

      Fuck you and the horse you rode in on. (Not you OP, I’m sure you’re cool)
